Adam's Apple; How many apples did Adam and Eve eat ? Somo say Eve 8 and Adam. 2f--a total of 10 only. Now we figure 'the! thing out differently. Evo:8 and.' Ada'rtliS also— total 16. Wo think the above-figures are entirely wrong. / If ' Eye 8 -and Adam 82, certainly the total will bo 90. Scientific men, however, on tho strength pf the theory that the antediluvians were a race of giants, reason something like this; Evo 81 and Adam 82 — 163. Wrong gain : what can bo clearer than, Evo 81 and Adam 812, the total was 893 ? If Eve 81lst and Adam 812, would not the total be 1623. I boliove tlio following to be the true solu tion Eve 814 Adam, Adam 8124 Eve — total 893*. Still another calculation is as follows : — If Eve 814 Adam, Adam 81242 oblige Eve — total 82056. We think this, however, not a sufficient quantity. For though we admit that Eve 814 Adam, Adam if he' 8081242 keep Evo company — total 8,082,056. All wrong. Eve when she 81812 many and probably felt sorry for it, but hor compan...

In Mr. Smith's own word?,'' Now is the ''fittest moment for reminding the people of 'N.S.W., ' of their great indebtedness to the memory pf the ' statesman (the late Sir Henry Parkes), forhis able, ' lofty, and porsistont advocacy of the great cause ' of Uuion.'
